I have just found a water leak on my 1987 type 25 and it is on the pipe that runs round the edge of the engine bay at the top. Has about 5 different pipes coming from it and is about 10 mm diameater and tapers a bit at one end. it looks like its copper and is rusty in two or three places apart from the small hole which is leaking. does anybody know of a supplier that could provide a new one as it is obsolete from VW and volkspares. Lenny.

If it is and you want new then vw classic parts in germany sell the plastic version for 84.92 euros (postage will be about 8 euros)
See the wiki on ordering from vw classic parts

Or try contacting Peter at
http://www.wagonbuild.com as I have bought quite a few 2nd hand pipes from him recently
